IBS Research
Research on IBS has developed significantly, and the FODMAP diet treatment is a result of this. It was researched and developed at Monash University in Australia. Today, FODMAP is used as a first-line treatment for IBS in most countries around the world and can only be administered by licensed dietitians. Belly Balance’s treatment is based on FODMAP and has been developed and quality-assured by licensed dietitian Sofia Antonsson.
There are many studies on IBS and FODMAP, and research is ongoing in several places around the world, including at Kings College in London. Here we have gathered a selection of published studies.
